This will not work, people that don't want it or need it will just pay the fine.

Billions are being spent in promoting Obamacare, where does that come from?

Hell, they can't even say for sure who wrote Obamacare!!!!
Still looking for someone that actually read it before voting to approve it

For sure. They were hoping for something like social security. Those who pay into it and not really use it will pay for those that do use it, but I think one of the problems is that many people, hell, everyone I know other than myself, gets insurance through their job. Those without insurance normally have a reason. Sure, there are some people who are just young and healthy and don't feel the need to pay for it, but I think many of the uninsured either have pre-existing conditions or didn't make enough money to afford it. Those people are not coming on board, but there aren't enough "non-users" out there to cover the cost.
